Five meals a day, a recipe for a healthier life

One of the questions that consumers of our products often ask us is how many meals they should eat a day to lead a healthy life and improve the functioning of their body.


The general consensus among the scientific community and endorsed by official bodies such as the Spanish Agency for Consumption, Food Safety and Nutrition (AECOSAN), indicates that the recommended frequency is five meals a day .

On the one hand, the three main ones (breakfast, lunch and dinner), and on the other, two secondary ones (two snacks consumed mid-morning and mid-afternoon).

Among the benefits of eating five times a day are the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases , as it contributes to the reduction of bad cholesterol levels.

Other advantages are the prevention and treatment of obesity and overweight , since if we opt for this frequency of meals we will contribute to the reduction of body fat.

It should also be noted that if we stop eating for more than six hours while awake, the body will have concentration and memory problems by depriving the brain of glucose, and it will also affect the stomach, causing heartburn and gastritis.

It is also important that, as far as possible, we organize ourselves to have regular schedules for eating , as well as to keep a close eye on what we eat, two habits that will help us have a healthier body and gain energy for the different activities we carry out in our daily lives.
